Tom Cat breaks through the dimensional wall

On November 4, the third year of Shaoxi in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was windy and rainy.

Lu You, who was dismissed from office and stayed at home, wrote a poem that Tang Mu had read and recited in full when he was a student.

Lying stiffly in an isolated village, I do not feel sorry for myself, but still think of guarding Luntai for my country.

Lying down late at night, listening to the wind and rain, the iron horse and the icy river come into my dream!

This poem comes from "Two Poems Written in the Wind and Rain on November 4".

Since it is said that there are two poems, there must be another one.

However, compared with this optimistic and bold poem with strong patriotic feelings and the ambition to serve the motherland, the second poem written on the same day has a completely different style.

On the same day, the first poem written by Lu You was actually:

The wind swept the rivers and lakes and the rain darkened the village, and the sound of the four mountains was like the waves of the sea.

The firewood in the stream is soft and the felt is warm, and I and my cat slave do not go out.

The cat slave here refers to cats!

As a patriotic poet, Lu You also loves cats deeply.

He wrote no less than ten poems about cats in his life.

The contents are similar.

"Yan Kuai hired a cat slave, who often watched operas in the corner."

"Yan Kuai welcomed a little cat slave, who protected the ten thousand books in the mountain house."

"Don't feel lonely, accompany the big cat slave."

"The cat slave sleeps in the quilt, and the mouse is roaming as if he doesn't hear it."

The titles of the poems are even more disgusting, all of which are "Gift to Cat" and "Gift to Powdered Nose".

The powdered nose in this poem is not just a simple powdered nose.

Just look at the cat poems written by Lu You to know that Lu You has at least three cats, and these three cats all have names.

They are Xiao Yutu, Powdered Nose and Xueer.

Xiao Yutu means little tiger.

At first, he raised it just to catch mice and protect his books.

But in the end, the famous Lu You still succumbed to the charm of cats and became a complete cat slave.

There are also a group of people in ancient Egypt who have the same development trajectory as Lu You.

They also started with catching mice and formed an indissoluble bond with cats.

It's just that they love cats even more crazily than Lu You.

To what extent did they love cats?

Did you know that because the whole nation loved cats so much, the country was destroyed?

In human history, this is unprecedented and will never be repeated.

In northern Africa, there used to be a large fertile land with abundant water and grass, called the Sahara Wetlands.

Yes, that's right, the Sahara in the Sahara Desert.

Then starting six thousand years ago, every once in a while, a disaster similar to the Younger Dryas event would suddenly reappear on a small scale on both sides of the North Atlantic.

It is known in history as the "Piola Oscillation Period".

It was these waves of cold waves that gradually turned the Sahara Wetlands into the Sahara Desert today.

The humans who originally lived there had to retreat and began to migrate eastward.

Finally, they retreated to the Nile River Basin in northeastern Africa and began to live a settled farming life by imitating the nearby Middle Eastern residents.

Gradually, it evolved into the later ancient Egyptian civilization.

Along with agricultural technology, cats domesticated by the ancestors of the Middle East were also introduced!

Although the ancestors on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean were the earliest cat lovers.

9,500 years ago, the ancestors of Cyprus were buried with their pet cats.

But after the activity of cat-loving was introduced to ancient Egypt, the cats that were originally just cat owners became cat gods as if they had turned on cheats!

It was also this group of tabby cats that eventually evolved into the domestic cats in today's sense.

Compared with their ancestors, the tabby cats, domestic cats are taller and cuter.

Like modern times, cats in this period have mastered the powerful skills of how to tame humans.

They are a little clingy and a little cold.

Like a master of love, they make people feel itchy.

How could the ancient Egyptians bear this?

The whole country fell in an instant, and the craziest cat slave empire in human history emerged.

When the cats kept at home by the ancient Egyptians died, the owners would shave their eyebrows to express their condolences.

Wealthy families would even mummify their cats for burial.

If a house caught fire, men would even form a human wall around the fire scene to prevent cats from jumping into the fire.

Let's take another historical event as an example.

At that time, a Roman came to Egypt because his carriage accidentally crushed a kitten on the road.

So he was lynched by angry Egyptians and killed directly.

Even the Pharaoh's intervention was useless.

At the national level, the Pharaoh even strictly prohibited the export of domestic cats and sent troops to inspect the smuggling of domestic cats.

The ancient Egyptians were heavily addicted to cats, which, apart from other factors, was also related to the ancient Egyptian belief in gods.

They believed that cats were sacred animals. They were the symbol of the cat god Bastet in the world.

It was precisely because of the transcendent status of cats in ancient Egypt that they eventually perished.

In 525 BC, the iron cavalry of the Persian Empire swept in.

Facing the fierce enemy, the ancient Egyptian army and civilians were naturally not afraid at all.

After rising up to resist, both armies fought hard, but they were still deadlocked.

The Greeks who watched the whole process as a bystander recorded: "Just when the Persian army could not attack for a long time and the logistics were unsustainable, they began to use their big moves!"

The ancestors have long said that knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles.

Although the people of the Persian Empire may not have heard this sentence, they also understand this truth.

So, the Persians painted the cat goddess Bastet on the soldiers' shields.

This action is like painting the wife of a otaku on the shield, or tying the otaku's figurine to oneself.

The Egyptians dared not shoot arrows casually after seeing it.

What's more bizarre is that in this legendary battlefield, the Persians did more than that.

The Persians, who knew that the ancient Egyptians were cat slaves, actually caught cats from nearby villages and released them on the battlefield as human shields.

They even threw cats at the ancient Egyptian army and walls.

In this way, the 26th Dynasty of Egypt, like the later French Third Republic, exploded the mentality of the whole country.

Then the army surrendered, the capital fell, and the pharaoh was captured.

The Persians who used cat tactics, Cambyses II, became their new pharaoh.

Maybe it's a drink and a peck, is it predestined?

Later Persian cats became more famous than Persians.

I have said so much, but I just want to explain one thing.

Cats are really important to the ancient Egyptians.

Although the owner of this land has changed, it is Egypt after all, where the ancient Egyptians really lived.

Naturally, it can also be said to be Tom's home court.

No one should think of bullying a cat on the land of ancient Egypt.

After being beaten by Tom, Imhotep was obviously angry.

As a high priest, he has such boundless magic power at this time.

How could he bear this kind of anger?

He was so angry that he wanted to fight back!

He just raised his hand to give Tom a slap in the face, and the raised hand was held by another hand.

This hand was wrapped in withered bandages.

When his sight shifted over, it was a mummy.

Not only that.

As the surrounding ground vibrated.

As the yellow sand fell, mummies emerged from the sand.

They surrounded Imhotep in the middle and protected Tom behind him.

Although they didn't say a word, the meaning was very clear.

If you dare to bully the cat in front of them, you must pay the price!

"I am Imhotep!"

Imhotep still wanted to use the name of the high priest to intimidate the mummies.

"Bang!"

Zhongzhong punched Imhotep in the face.

The bald priest was immediately stunned.

Then, he frowned, raised his hand to the mummies, and began to cast a spell: "I command you in the name of Imhotep! Obey my orders!"

"Pah!"

"Bang!"

The two mummies who walked to Imhotep, one slapped Imhotep, and the other punched him in the face again!

After these two blows, Imhotep's face was swollen, and there was even a line of nosebleed on his nose.

Small skin injuries are actually nothing.

But for Imhotep, the mental damage is obviously greater.

He couldn't accept it anyway. He was a great priest.

A high priest with unparalleled magical power could be beaten in the face by the Egyptians on this land of Egypt?

Tom, who was protected by a group of mummies, grinned.

Do you think this is your home court?

No, actually this is my idea!

Tom pretended to be bullied, lying on the sand and shivering, looking at Imhotep with a pair of pitiful and scared eyes.

The mummies around were very angry when they saw this.

Damn! You dare to abuse a cat in front of us!

The ancient Egyptians couldn't tolerate this.

It seemed that they rushed forward and threw Imhotep to the ground, punching and kicking him!

Imhotep obviously has unparalleled magical power.

But at this time, it is of no use at all.

The mummies beat him fiercely.

Just like in old cartoons, for the sake of visual exaggeration and to save money, the fighting scene was directly covered by a rolling cloud of thick smoke.

Only some fists and feet were revealed from time to time.

Imhotep obviously found something wrong.

With his magic power, these mummies should not cause any harm or trouble to him even if they were undead creatures.

With just a simple release of magic power, these mummies with bandages could be rushed away or even directly crushed.

But he couldn't do it. His magic power was like being sealed and he couldn't use it at all.

He could only follow the rhythm of the mummy and roll with them in a melee.

There must be something wrong with that cat!

There must be something wrong with that cat!

Originally, Imhotep was full of confidence because of the complete recovery of his magic power.

But at this time, he was directly suppressed.

The heart that was no longer afraid of cats became more afraid.

After all, he was also an ancient Egyptian.

Naturally, he began to think of the cat god Bastet.

If there is a cat that can suppress him so easily, it is probably only Bastet.

The thought of this possibility makes Imhotun's heart become extremely panic.

The Sun Golden Sutra can summon Anubis's chariot to harvest his soul and let him return to the underworld.

But this does not mean that only Anubis can cause harm to him.

Bastet, the cat god, is also very powerful among the ancient Egyptian gods.

It is also simple to do something to Imhotun.

I realized his danger.

Although I still wanted to revive my lover Ansuna.

But Imhotun also knew what to do at what time.

Now I shouldn't fight hard, but find a chance to escape.

Thinking of this, Imhotun forcibly resisted the fists and feet of the mummy, and began to crawl out with a bruised face!

Imhotun didn't know that Tom was actually much stronger than Bastet and Anubis, whom he was afraid of.

Otherwise, I guess he wouldn't even have the idea of ​​escaping.

He would immediately kneel down and beg for mercy.

Just like in the movie "The Mummy 2", he bowed to the Scorpion King.

Imhotun, like the Holy Lord, has his own pride.

But he can also bend and stretch.

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

Imorton panted and crawled out of the rolling smoke with great difficulty.

His eyes lit up!

He breathed the free air, although he was beaten miserably.

But he felt that he should be able to run away.

But then, Imhotep saw a pair of furry feet in front of him.

He looked up and immediately saw Tom's cat face.

"Ah!"

Imhotep screamed!

He had realized something.

Sure enough, Tom also screamed.

Imhotep, who had just crawled out halfway, was pulled back into the battle circle by the mummy!

Even if he grabbed the sand with both hands, it was useless.

The rolling smoke again made crackling sounds of fists and feet.

This time it was even more tragic than before.

Tom was kind and couldn't bear to see this.

These mummies are such good people.

They have been dead for thousands of years, and in order to protect themselves, they have to fight Imhotep in person.

What if something happens to such brittle bones?

So the kind-hearted Tom thought of a way.

Sure enough, we still have to give them some help.

Tom brought a big box directly from somewhere.

Standing outside the rolling smoke, he took out the items in the box one by one and handed them directly to the smoke.

Baseball bat.

A hand stretched out from the smoke and took it away directly.

Axe.

Taken away again.

Folding stool.

Taken away again.

Steel rods, barbed wire, bricks, etc. are naturally indispensable.

Now, the fists and feet that only appeared from time to time in the smoke have become various common weapons in life!

Imhotep's screams became louder.

About a few minutes passed.

The smoke finally stopped rolling.

A group of mummies dropped their weapons, clapped their hands, and walked away cursing.

Only Imhotep, who didn't know whether to live or die, was left lying there, groaning slightly.

As an immortal priest who should have become a big boss, Imhotep's current appearance was obviously something he didn't expect.

Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu were used to it.

Evelyn and the others were completely dumbfounded.

Brutal!

It was really too brutal!

Seeing the situation before, the cowardly Jonathan was ready to take his sister away.

Unexpectedly, it would end like this.

The sky still looked like the end of the world.

But the half-dead look of Imhotep lying on the ground was a bit ironic in comparison.

Jackie Chan and the others were not worried about Tom's safety at all, nor were they worried about their own safety.

After so many things, they had full confidence in Tom.

Dad didn't even look at Imhotep, still staring at the magic detector in his hand.

Suddenly he looked up in one direction.

"It's true. Because of the black air on the bald man, the two demons here have been resurrected."

As soon as the father finished speaking, there was lightning and thunder in the northwest, and a strong wind.

A momentum stronger than Imhotep came overwhelmingly!

Even the dark clouds in the sky were directly dispersed!

"It's the Thunder Demon Zhongsu, and the Wind Demon Xiaofeng!"

As soon as the voice fell, a huge purple frog and a blue giant wearing golden armor fell from the sky!

They instantly crossed a distance of several kilometers and jumped directly from their resurrection place!

"Boom--!"

Two big demons landed!

A huge shock wave immediately hit them in a circular shape!

In an instant, sand and rocks flew, and a powerful sandstorm was immediately set off!

Everyone seemed to twist their bodies to avoid being attacked by the wind and sand.

Xiaoyu and Dad were relatively light, and they were almost blown away by the impact.

Fortunately, Jackie Chan on the side pulled them in time.

"Holy Lord, is this the cat you mentioned? It doesn't look very good."

Xiaofeng shook his body and shook the Holy Lord and his party off it.

A group of people fell on the sand, and the Holy Lord looked very ugly.

Its action was still a step slow.

That damn undead priest was resurrected too early.

A large amount of black energy gathered, causing Zhongsu and Xiaofeng to be resurrected in advance.

In this way, the Lord's intention to devour the two evil spirits failed.

According to the Lord's character, since he could not devour the devil's energy, he must have other backup plans.

Yes, the flexible Lord immediately began to kowtow and said that he came to assist and protect his two brothers.

He also talked about Tang Mu's affairs.

Said that this cat killed their big brother Zhulan, and asked Zhongsu and Xiaofeng to be more careful.

Originally, according to the Lord's idea.

It wanted to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf.

During the battle between the two sides, he took the opportunity to escape.

It would be best if Zhongsu and Xiaofeng could defeat the strange cat.

If not, he would have escaped in advance, so at least he could save his life.

Then he just had to seize the time and quickly devour the other demonic energy.

As a result, the development of the situation was beyond the Lord's expectations.

These two fools didn't listen to the Lord's warning at all.

Or rather, they only listened half of it.

They even wanted the Lord to witness their power.

Let the Lord watch how they defeated the cat.

Then he brought the Lord and his party here without saying anything.

Looking at the miserable Immorton, the Lord's face was as ugly as if he had eaten shit.

Damn it!

If you want to die, go and die by yourselves.

Why do you have to take me with you?

The Holy Lord looked around.

It is not the kind of person who will sit and wait for death.

Although it was brought directly to Tom, it was still looking for a chance to escape from this place of trouble.

"Are you Tom? The cat that killed Zhulan?"

The lightning demon Zhongsu looked contemptuous: "Let me see what you can do."

"Uh..."

Tom looked at the two demons in front of him and scratched his head.

He took out a small comb and combed his hair into a sharp and angular style, like he was very good at playing cards.

Since we are already in Egypt, why not play some cards?
